How do you feel about the
amount of advertising on television?
I believe that nowadays there's
way too much advertising on television
because if you're looking...
if you're watching a movie
or even a TV series,
you might get a advertising interruption
every 10 to 15 minutes,
which kind of steals the...
the fun you can have watching that movie
because really cuts it
usually at very specific moments
when a...
so the movie gets all your attention,
then cuts,
and then the advertisements get all your attention.
So, yeah definitely, on our television programme,
it's way too much.
When I was in Norway, I realised
their advertisement are I think the best way to do it.
It's 30 seconds and you have three images,
non-moving images.
So that's their way of doing advertisement.
I think that's good.
In what ways has television advertising changed
in the last 10 years?
I think it's... it's gone...
There's advertisement for almost everything now
whereas...
I think it just followed the changes in society.
So there's a lot more advertising
about electronic devices and...
I don't know, insurance policies, car policies, whatever,
just following the trend that society is following.
To what extent do you think people are influenced
by the advertising they see on television?
I think it depends heavily on who we're talking about...
but most people actually...
feel that they might need what's advertised.
So advertisement use different techniques
to try to touch more people and...
so some people will just...
If there's a celebrity using that product,
they will feel like I should do that as well,
or just, you know, there's a discount or whatever,
they will go for it.
So I think that's... yeah...
that's the way it is right now,
and that's how they actually manage
to affect all those people.
Hi, my name's Pete Jones,
and with around 10 years' experience
as an IELTS examiner,
I know what candidates need to do
to get a high IELTS Speaking band score.
Nils, who you've just seen
answer some IELTS Speaking Part 3 questions
on the topic of advertising,
got a band score 8.5 for his speaking
a couple of months before we made this recording,
and what I'd like to show you now
is how you can improve
your IELTS Speaking band score
by answering Part 3 questions
in the way that Nils did.
When Nils answered the IELTS Speaking
Part 3 questions I asked him,
he answered them in a way
that were easy for me to follow
and easy for me to understand his opinion.
The way that he did this
was to give his opinion first,
and then explain why he had his opinion,
and then give an example.
Answering IELTS Speaking Part 3 questions in this way
makes your answers coherent,
that is, easy to understand
and logically organised.
And this is a requirement
if you need to get an IELTS Speaking band score 8
or higher.
As well as developing his answers coherently,
Nils used some different words and phrases
to introduce his opinion.
He said 'I think', 'I believe'
and 'it depends heavily on'
to give his opinion,
and he used some other words and grammar
to introduce his explanations and examples.
With an IELTS Speaking and Overall band score 8.5,
the good news is
Nils got the band score he needed
to start a master's course in the UK.
If you need to improve your IELTS Speaking band score
to study overseas,
emigrate
or get a better job,
